The Unapology of Leni Riefenstahl

Monday June 13 brings us a forty-five minute stageplay The Unapology of Leni Riefenstahl by Zoe Mavroudi.

"Alone in her room on the last hours of her life, Leni Riefenstahl, the 101-year-old director of Hitler-sponsored
documentaries, makes a desperate final attempt to convince the audience
that her legacy transcends the atrocities of the regime her films
glorified; but the unwelcome intrusion of memory won't let her mind
rest. The Unapology of Leni Riefenstahl is a fictional apologia by the
notorious film director, who died in 2003".
